Well written. For such a smart man, he writes in an approachable way. His last essay, "Humanistic Socialism" is among the best I have read on the subject.
Loveeeee Erich Fromm's essays on disobedience. It provides some thought provoking messages for the reader to digest and analyze their perspectives on the issues involving power.
I found this book to be very empowering as Fromm points out the awesome capabilities of man in the context of good and evil. Overall, Fromm holds his argument through a course of winded quotes from Bertrand Russell in the beginning chapters. As noted by a previous review, there isn't a real consistency in terms of chronological examples or research presented (as noted in the preface). On Disobedience is a bit more preachy and a sort of guide for an individual's understanding of his role in society and amongst humanity.
Excellent book!!Erich Fromm has the courage and clarity of mind to talk about uncomfortable truths.
great
